Glenn Beck: Charles Darwin Is The “Father Of Modern Day Racism”
According to Glenn Beck, President Obama is a “racist” who harbors a “deep-seated hatred for white people, or the white culture.” (A claim that Glenn Beck still defends). And, according to Glenn Beck, Charles Darwin is the “father of modern day racism.”
Utter nonsense aside, this is ironic coming from Glenn Beck who favorited a white power tweet from a white nationalist organization, tells Cory Booker “You got it going on. Word to your mommy,” seems to not understand the concept of slavery, and the list goes on and on….
Onward we go…

Yeah, that's right… Darwin invented racism. Beck's sense of history remains… perfect.

The best part? In 'The Voyage of the Beagle' (1938) Darwin speaks out against slavery time and again.

I'm so glad this is AMERICIA where we can still speak freely..go try China and see what would what happen to ya ! BUT, When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become “President”. And now that I’m adult, I'm starting to believe it. And if you are a “racist” who harbors for President Obama is a “deep-seated hatred for white people..(: Keep up the good work there Darwin and follower's.
Just Good old BOY.

I believe he's referring to social Darwinism, A misinterpretation of Darwin's theory that states that the reason minorities have struggled is that they are genetically inferior. Darwin never advocated for his theories to be used in that way, and I strongly believe he would have renounced social Darwinism.
On an unrelated note, social Darwinism has also been used to advocate for a laissez-faire economy

He also said that darwin was the father or eugenics. Where you do think the 'superior race' came from. DOWN TO BECK!!! He opposes eugenics and genocide!!!!

Darwin's been dead for 128 years he dosen't have followers. It'd be nice if people would know what the hell they're talking about before they post. But what do I expect from a Beck fan.

Then perhaps you'd be so kind as to enlighten us as to how he explained himself? I mean unless he prefaces this with “I'd have to be a fucking nut to say” I cant see how this was taken out of context.

I take offense and disagree. I live in China (though American, I can understand chinese tho), I was shocked to hear the words of their leader and months more into living here discover they are basically living the way all the right-wingers want to live.
See, China discovered the key to shutting up the leftists: Pretend to be as far left as possible while enacting ultra-right policies. Example: They claim to be Communists, yet Commie China has about half the tax rate the USA does on the rich. They claim to be Communists, but the USA's percent of govt. spending to GDP ratio is many times more than China's. (Translation: The USA's economy is many times more CENTRALLY PLANNED than China's.).
So rethink who is Communist. The USA has got China beat many times over in terms of social handouts, centrally planned economy, and tax rates (oh and in China, probably 99% of people don't file privacy invading income tax reports, unlike the USA which will jail you for not reporting to the Govt. like a good slave). In China, protesters are often censored or arrested, indeed. In the USA, the CIA just kills them and nobody learns about it. Just like the good ole' KGB. I'd take an ineffective populist dictatorship like China's that allows business to prosper over an effective technocratic covert pseudo-democracy like the USA's any day: outright dictators have to be careful they don't piss people off; democratic leaders don't have to worry as people become complacent and hope for “change” with the election of a new puppet. Meanwhile cousin-of-Cheney Obama hands a trillion taxpayer dollars so banks can loan those taxpayer dollars back to taxpayers: with interest.
Thank Goodness I don't live in the USA anymore! I don't have to worry about Premier Wen Jiebao taking my money and handing it to a bank to loan to me! Phew!

Oh, and I also left out that I'm glad to not be living in a country that will print 2 trillion of my currency to fight ineffective wars. Instead China is getting the contracts to all the resource rights. Ohhh, it feels so good to be living with a rising power again (america was once; no more!).
Leave you with a famous quote
“If you are ashamed to stand by your colors, you had better seek another flag.”
I've done so. I suggest you do the same.

I would say fair enough but Trent failed to provide any proof that he explained himself. I’ve seen the whole segment and Beck did not explain himself at all besides trying to quote mine Darwin.

Except that Darwin was not the father of Eugenics.

Eugenics by itself isn’t an evil idea though it is an inherently flawed idea.
